BrowserID is also known as Mozilla Persona. It is a Single Sign On protocol similar to OpenID, but based on user email address rather than a <abbrtitle="Uniform Resource Locator">URL</abbr>. <ahref="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Persona/FAQ?redirectlocale=en-US&amp;redirectslug=Persona%2FFAQ#How_does_Persona_compare_to_OpenID.3F"class="urlextern"title="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Persona/FAQ?redirectlocale=en-US&amp;redirectslug=Persona%2FFAQ#How_does_Persona_compare_to_OpenID.3F"rel="nofollow">Of course, there are other differences</a>.
